“I injured my neck in training, but did physical therapy and thought everything was fine. But when I felt against the cage everything went numb, I couldn’t feel my body. I trained really hard for this fight.
I’m still doing a lot of exams here at the hospital.
I would like a rematch because there was no fight. I got injured literally in the first time I attacked.”
